Dalmore Gran Reserva

Dalmore Gran Reserva is a Highland single malt released as the successor to the old Cigar Malt, aimed squarely at that rich-after-dinner style: orange oils, warming spice, cocoa and a distinct tobacco-leaf note. Matured in a mix of sherry and bourbon casks, it’s very “Dalmore” in character—polished, aromatic, and built for slow sipping rather than peat or punch.
